About Songs of Faith and Devotion Live

Songs of Faith and Devotion Live is the second live album by English electronic music band Depeche Mode. It was released on 6 December 1993 by Mute Records. Recorded during the band's 1993 Devotional Tour, the album consists mainly of performances recorded in Liévin, France, with two other tracks recorded in Copenhagen and New Orleans, respectively. It was a track-by-track live duplication of Depeche Mode's eighth studio album, Songs of Faith and Devotion, which was released earlier in 1993. The album was poorly received by critics and performed moderately on the charts, reaching number 46 on the UK Albums Chart and number 193 on the US Billboard 200. As of April 2006, it had sold 114,000 copies in the United States. A near-complete concert of the Devotional Tour was released on the Devotional video album in 1993, and attained more commercial success. more »
